Synopsis

★★★★★ Couldn't put it down! "This was my first book by Kelsey Browning, but it definitely won't be the last. I truly couldn't put this down, and no matter which brother gets the next story, I'm definitely reading it. Steele Ridge is going on my automatic buy list!"

"It's the type of book that keeps you turning its pages even though it's time to cook dinner or go to sleep."

"This is definitely a book that is built around suspense and a serious mystery. There is also a lot of humor, smoldering heat and heart - all things Kelsey Browning does exceptionally well."

"If you only read one book this month, make it Going Hard by Kelsey Browning!"

"One of the things [Browning] does so well is develop the interactions between family members based on love and humor. We all know you don't get to pick your family. If it were possible, however, I want one that Kelsey has written."

"This book is an absolute gem! I wasn't expecting the turn this story just took; it has quite an unexpected surprise that is jaw-dropping good! Murder, mystery, thrills, and passion continue to keep you glued to the pages..."

Slick sports agent Griffin Steele is living the highlife in Los Angeles, far from the shadow of the North Carolina mountains where he grew up. But when his hometown falls on hard times and needs his help, Grif reluctantly agrees to commute between coasts. He never expects the lush scenery, in the form of pretty tomboy Carlie Beth Parrish, to be such a temptation.

After an impetuous one-night stand with Grif Steele fifteen years ago, hardworking blacksmith Carlie Beth has tried to make a living and raise her daughter in the hometown she loves. Then, too-sexy-for-his-Rolex Grif blows back into town like the perfect storm, making Carlie feel less like a thirty-something mom and more like an infatuated teenager.

When a stalker targets his hometown and Grif suspects Carlie Beth might be the next victim, he can’t help but step in to protect her. But once he discovers the fourteen-year-old secret she’s been keeping from him, will he embrace the truth or will he turn his back on Steele Ridge and Carlie Beth forever?

Book 1 of the Steele Ridge Series is Steele Ridge: The Beginning, a free prequel.

Loved it!

Loved this one and I can't wait to really get to know the other Steele brothers! This is the first full book in the series and it's a great one. In an attempt to save their failing home town the Steele brothers have returned to North Carolina. Griff knows he can take a little time away from his sports agency to help but he can't wait to get out of there and back to LA. That is until he reunites with Carlie Beth and discovers that their one night of passion 15 years ago resulted in the birth of his daughter. A daughter he was never told about. As angry as Griff is about not being told he was a father, he can't help but come to Carlie Beth's aid when it appears she has a stalker and maybe just a bit because he can't seem to resist her!
Put this one on the must read list. I highly recommend it.

Going Hard

What is there not to love when you mix mystery and romance! I love this book! The characters are wonderful! I'm sure the rest of the series is going to be just as good.

Not to be missed! Humor, Danger and Love.

I love this series. This book Going Hard is is the second in the series and is about Griffin Steele a Sports agent. Grif is polished, wealthy and not wanting to live in his small hometown. But brothers have a way of convincing you to do things you don't want to do, so Grif reluctantly agrees to commute between the West coast and the East coast. He sure isn't expecting to run in to a woman he had a one night stand with fifteen years ago, and absolutely was not expecting to find himself attracted to her now. Carlie Beth is not the type of woman Grif usually finds attractive, she isn't sophisticated and isn't a mode,l she is a Blacksmith, rough, tough and about as unsophisticated as you can be. So how is it that Grif can not stop thinking about her and why does he find he so hot?
Carlie Beth is trying to avoid Grif Steele, the last thing she wants to do is get tangled up with him again. One night fifteen years ago was enough thank you! But oh it would be so much easier to stay away if he wasn't so good looking and sweet. She doesn't need to be involved she has a teen daughter to raise after all and no time for a man. ( Famous last words.)
These two when they get together scorch up the pages. I loved this book, the story line is great, the characters are complex and very well written, the book moves along at a steady pace and will keep you turning pages. This one is not to be missed! Plus there is a big secret that you will find out about so snatch it up and block out some reading time you won't be sorry.
